As I mentioned not so very long ago yesterday was rather productive.

I was interupted mid morning by the delivery of the weeks shopping. While taking this in I spotted two one pence peaces on the floor.

Mine!

This took me half way into my 4p to 6p aim.

Then I went back to work on The Great Directory Review and worked solidly until my wife came home.

While out she had found some money. Not a few pennies like I had but a note.

Quite rightly she had spent the most of it but gifted the remainder to the fund.

I pondered if this was acceptable to allow the money into the fund and at last concluded thusly.

Luck is part of the game. The money came into the system by luck.

Gifts are allowed and in the early stages gifts can be a big part of the game too.

It was not something we "already owned".

So I added £2.21 to the pot.

According tot he rules as I saw them such gift/luck are not returns and so not subject to the return cap other moneys are subject to.

Thus I skipped forward to the very end of step 13 with just 29p to raise.

I am going to have to think about how I am going to do this as I have been thinking about pennies and now have pounds to contend with.
